How We Can Take Action
Sign a petition
Justice for George Floyd on change.org
This petition aims to "reach the attention of Mayor Jacob Frey and DA Mike Freeman to beg to have the officers involved in this disgusting situation fired and for charges to be filed immediately." As of May 31, 9,413,553 have signed. The goal is 10,000,000 signatures.
Justice for Breonna Taylor
”One month ago, a division of the Louisville Police Department performed an illegal, unannounced drug raid on her home. Not a single officer announced themselves before ramming down her door and firing 22 shots, shooting Breonna 8 times, killing her.” This petition calls to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Louisville Police Department and charges must be filed immediately.
